IanMan Report post Posted October 8, 2015 Yesterday I was at work and fcuking bored out of my mind, so I walked over to the pier and was looking at the fish in the water. There were some huge fish at the bottom, but out of nowhere I see this shark and video taped him. Sure enough, I got a kill on camera! This thing doesn't look like it because I was 8 feet off the water, but it was five feet long. Looks better in full screen.

IanMan Report post Posted October 8, 2015 That is sick! I am afraid of sharks, but find them to be fascinating animals. Thanks, dude! I don't know if I fear them, but I definitely respect them. The video doesn't do this thing justice. It fcuking teleported in the water. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always amazing to see apex predators in action. I spend quite a bit free diving here in S. Florida - I have seen countless sharks in the water. I used to sh%t myself but now after spending a ton of time in the water its easier to stay calm when they are around. but its always awesome seeing them.

DrVertigo Report post Posted October 8, 2015 Holy shit that's fast! Looks like a blacktip, I guess they need that speed to nab little fish poking their heads out from reef openings. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm hoping to get certified for diving before I leave here. I just never have time. I think it'd be quite different to be with them in person! Holy shit that's fast! Looks like a blacktip, I guess they need that speed to nab little fish poking their heads out from reef openings. That's what one of the local guys here said. I'm wondering how old he was and if there were bigger sharks nearby. It's not common for sharks to work their way through the canal and over to the piers.

I don't know how tight a canal that one is, but blacktips are used to navigating narrow and uneven passages, they're specialised for coral environments.

That makes a lot of sense considering the crazy amounts of coral in that area. Thanks for the info! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lambo91 Report post Posted October 9, 2015 Didn't see a kill...All I saw was a shark shitting its pants and swimming away after noticing a human filming a video in vertical mode. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanMan Report post Posted October 9, 2015 Didn't see a kill...All I saw was a shark shitting its pants and swimming away after noticing a human filming a video in vertical mode. It wasn't swimming away from me. I'd been watching it for 15 minutes prior and it was swimming really close to me. It did kill a fish. You can't see it on the video, but it did get the kill. It hung around for a little while after that too. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just messing with you for filming a vertical video..don't take my post too seriously. jokes aside, Never knew sharks swim that fast though. crazy stuff. where did you see the shark? It doesn't look like a place where a shark will appear randomly Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

CallMeJarob Report post Posted October 9, 2015 Awesome video! Definitely get certified, you're on Hawaii for heaven's sake! I lived on Maui for awhile and worked at a dive shop and went on hundreds of dives out there. Blacktips are super docile and very cool to dive with!
